TPC Q&A

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 1995-12-13
- TPC란 무엇입니까 ?
TPC는 Transaction Processing Council의 약자로서 여러 하드웨어 및
소프트웨어 회사 및 소수의 사용자 기관들을 멤버로 하는 비영리
단체입니다. TPC의 구성 목적은 "트랜잭션 프로세싱 벤치마크를 정의
하고 그 목적과 판명가능한 성능을 널리 알리는 데" 두고 있습니다.
따라서 멤버들은 TPC의 벤치마크 테스팅을 통해 자사의 제품이 타사의
제품(예, H/W+S/W)과 얼마나 잘 결합될 수 있는지에 대한 증빙자료를
마련하게 됩니다.
- TPC-C란 무엇입니까 ?
TPC-C는 9개의 테이블로 구성된 데이타베이스에 주문입력 시스템과
주문처리 시스템을 모의, 읽기전용 및 갱신위주의 혼합 업무부담율을
처리해내는 OLTP 벤치마킹 입니다.
- TPC에서 정의하는 다른 종류의 벤치마킹에는 어떤 것이 있습니까 ?
우선 TPC-C보다 단순한 형태의 OLTP를 벤치마킹하는 A와 B가 있었습니다
A, B는 1995년 6월부로 폐지되었으며, 간단히 설명하면 A는 일종의
Banking System Simulation으로서 3 Updates와 1 Insert를 포함하는
한가지 트랜잭션 타입만을 벤치마킹하는 것이었고, B는 이와 유사하나
"Tink Time"요구사항 및 터미널, 네트워크 에뮬레이션이 빠진 것이
었습니다.
TPC-D라고 하는 새로운 DSS 벤치마크 테스트가 95년 4월부로 공식화되어
(TPC-C와 유사하며 대용량 DB에 17개의 Queries로 테스트) 최적화 및
질의 프로세싱의 효율성을 측정하기로 되었으나 아직 그 누구도 실시
하지 않았으며 앞으로 TPC-S라고 하는 서버 벤치마크, TPC-C/S라고 하는
클/서 벤치마크 및 TPC-E라고 하는 엔터프라이즈 벤치마크 등이 금년
하반기 중 공식화 될 전망입니다.
- TPC-C는 실제상황을 그대로 대변합니까 ?
TPC-C는 단순비교를 위해서는 유용할 수 있으나 실제상황을 그대로
반영한다고 하긴 어렵습니다. 대부분의 벤치마크가 하나의 트랜잭션으로
수행된다는 점을 감안하면 실제상황과는 많이 다를 수 있고 따라서 이와
관련한 데이타의 충돌 등이 테스트되지 않는다고 볼 수 있으며, 실제로
중요한 Data Integrity나 Backup/Recovery는 아예 테스트되질 않습니다.
- 이제까지 오라클이 TPC-C에 참여하지 않은 이유는 무엇입니까 ?
가장 큰 이유는 TPC-C의 규정에 맞추지 못하였기 때문입니다. 이 부분은
TPC-C의 규정 중 "Transaction Isolation"에 국한되는 것으로 이제
까지의 오라클의 Concurrency Control기법과는 다른 Spec을 요구하였던
것 입니다.
따라서 Oracle7이 TPC-C를 수행할 수 없었다기 보다는 결과가 만족
스럽지 못할 것으로 생각되어 7.3까지 기다린 것입니다.
- TPC-C 테스트를 위해 7.3에 추가된 것은 무엇입니까 ?
한마디로 "Serializable Transaction"이라는 새로운 Concurrency
Control 기능을 추가한 것입니다.(자세한 내용은 원본 P6 참조)
- Oracle7 Release 7.3은 아직 베타인데 결과치를 발표할 수 있습니까 ?
그렇습니다. TPC의 "Fair Use Rule"에 따르면, 테스트 된 제품의
"배급시기" 가 명시만 되면 Press Release하는 데 문제가 되진않습니다.
그러나 테스팅에 관한 모든 것을 밝혀주는 Full Disclosure Report는
96년 2월경에 배포가 가능하니 이점 양지하시기 바랍니다.
- 만약 가망 고객이 다른 플랫폼에 Oracle7의 TPC-C 결과치를 원하면 어떡하나요 ?
가장 예상되는 문제 중의 하나이지만 현재 HP/Oracle 발표이후 다른
하드웨어 업체들도 매우 적극적으로 오라클과 협력하여 그들 플랫폼
에서의 결과치를 원하고 있습니다. 이는 그간 TPC-C에 오라클이 불참
함으로써 하드웨어 플랫폼의 비교 그 자체가 무의미 했기 때문입니다.
대부분의 TPC 테스트가 사실 그간 DBMS 보다는 H/W 선정에 많은
영향력을 보였던 것을 고려해도 앞으로 다른 플랫폼에 Oracle을 TPC-C
벤치마킹하는 것은 시간 문제라고 생각됩니다. 오라클 서버 기술부 및
각 제품부는 각 하드웨어 벤더와 긴밀히 협조 조만간 새로운 결과들을
속속 발표할 것입니다. 따라서 고객들에게 이 점을 주지하셔야 할 것
입니다.
- Informix가 HP9000/T500 8CPU 에 테스팅을 한 것과 이번의 오라클 결과치와는
CPU 갯수의 차이 때문에 어렵지 않은가요 ? (오라클은 12CPU를 이용)
얼핏 보면 오라클이 결과를 생각해서 인포믹스보다 더 많은 CPU 를
이용한 것처럼 보입니다. 결과는 인포믹스가 3118 tpms, 오라클이 5369
tpms로서 CPU 갯수 차이에 의한 당연한 차이로 인식되기 쉽습니다.
그러나 정말 중요한 사실은 Informix가 8개 CPU를 넘는 하드웨어로는
벤치마킹을 하지 않는다는 것 입니다. 따라서 Scalability면에서
오라클을 따라오지 못한다는 사실이 담겨있는 것 입니다. 이 점을 강조
하시기 바랍니다.

The only problems that I am aware of with the updater are
these:
* Some third party extensions currently don't work with
Dreamweaver 8.0.2.
* The Test SQL Statement panel doesn't render correct results
for MySQL
functions.
* The recordset dialog box strips out the MySQL CONCAT()
function from
SQL queries.
Item 1 isn't a major concern to me, as I rarely use the
extensions
affected (mainly MX Kollection 3 and extensions created by
Tom Muck).
Items 2 and 3 do concern me, but since I'm aware of them, I
can easily
work around them.
I have installed the 8.0.2 updater, and don't have any plans
to
uninstall at the moment. The changes to the server behaviors
improve
security, so that's an important reason to update. On the
other hand, if
you rely heavily on extensions created by InterAKT or Tom
Muck, you may
be better off waiting until they have updated their products,
too.

  • LabVIEW Touch Panel -- I can not get activesync to connect between the TPC-2012 and my XP workstation. There is no USB client connection on TPC-2012

    How do I get the TPC-2012 to connect to my workstation?  I have read all the hardware manuals, getting started manuals: nothing works.  The remote access using http://x.x.x.x/RemoteAdmin does not work.  I have tried to get the FTP service working using the instructions in "How do I configure the FTP server on tpc-2006 and TPC-2016" .  Active sync seems to want a USB connection only.  I have tried to connect a serial line between com1 on the TPC and com4 on my XP workstation with no results.
    I have been able to use the touch panel module with my iPAQ. It worked flawlessly the first time.

    Hi David,
    thank you once again for your help.
    So when viewing your Local Area Connection>>Status
    you're seeing data packets sent but no packets received on your desktop
    machine? - Yes
    Is your desktop configured with a static IP address or is it
    configured to obtain an IP address automatically?I' ve tried both static IP address and that it obtain IP address automatically, I have also done it with the TPC.
    Also, does your TPC
    get a valid IP address when the connection to your desktop is present? - when TPC is set to obtain adress automatically it gets IP address and then after some time it loses it - it is set to 0.0.0.0, and then it obtains the IP adress again and so on.
    Can you provide the address, subnet, and gateway you're getting for
    both machines?- I've done it, but it didn'e help
    Also any firewall settings or exceptions you may have
    active if the firewall is enabled? - firewall is disabled
    I'd also like to know what
    modules and toolkits you do have installed on both the TPC - TPC is new and I haven't installed there anything.
    On my desktop - I have standard Labview 8.2,the real time module is installed. All I know, there are already drivers for TPC2012 in this LabView version. On the included CD I have only drivers for another TPCs.
    Thanks,

  • How do I save my TPC-2006 app in nonvolatil​e flash

    I've used the TPC Configurator to run my user interface Labview code automatically after the TPC-2006 boots up, but the file is lost every time power is cycled.  How do I make it stick to the flash disk?

    Hi Jeff,
    I really don't know much about the TPC-2006, but have you seen this KnowledgeBase:  How To Make Executable Start Upon Boot Up of theTPC-60S?  Clearly you're familiar with the TPC Configurator Method, but I believe that the second method will work for you.  Taking my cue from this post I believe that you can move the file to the HardDisk folder to avoid losing them.
    Let me know how this goes for you!

  • How to generate TPC-E schema/data sets in Oracle 11g

    Hi,
    I want to use TPC-E schema in my Oracle 11g database (Standard) and also want to use DATA SETS from this benchmark for some kind of testing.
    I've download EGen v1.8.0 from this TPC website:
    http://www.tpc.org/tpce/default.asp
    but don't know who to implement this benchmark database into my computer's database. I'll appreciate if someone please suggest me how to do this...
    Thanks alot.

    I want to find Optimal size of a data block size as this is the one parameter which can increase the performance of a database or decrease it.If there is a single optimal size, that would surely be the default Oracle block size - as Oracle should know perhaps better than any of us, just what block size differences do as it is their code that uses it?
    Can I ask why you said that you would not have chosen this topic as a thesis?My leaning has always been to expert systems and A.I. Even designed and written my own expert system language years ago. One thing that is critical in such systems is how you structure data - and that has a nice database angle to it. One that I believe can still be exploited for research purposes.
    Don't you think that it'll benefit DBA's or database developer after I reach a successful conclusion?To be honest, in the real world of database systems, the least of my concerns are data block sizes. For example, we're busy putting together a storage array that should have a maximum I/O pipe size of 40Gb. In comparison, we currently use dual 2Gb fibre channels on most of our servers for our I/O.
    Technology moves fast. And perhaps there is an ideal block size for the standard storage array and Oracle instance today - but that could invalidated by new technology next year. Would I want to spend time and effort studying and analysing and researching a very specific technical subject, that perhaps is not considered as of that critical importance by DBAs and perhaps can be outdated with new technology and techniques?
    I honestly do not want to put you off studying db block sizes. Perhaps there's still some critical issues to uncover in that respect. But personally.. there are many other subject areas in database technology that peak my interest a lot more. But then you have your personal preferences and likes and dislikes - and data blocks could be your muse. :-)

  • How to display elapsed time on TPC-2006 (Pocket PC 2003) as mm:ss?

    The small attached PDA vi is a simple "egg timer" that measures elapsed time in minutes and seconds.  I've tried every formatting trick I can think of, but cannot get my TPC-2006 to display the elapsed time as mm:ss.  It always displays single digit minutes and seconds using one digit instead of 2.  By this I mean that an elapsed time of 1 minute and 6 seconds will display as 1:6.  My customer expects that elapsed time to display as 01:06.
    I tried attaching a %t constant to the "format string" input of the "format into string" sub-vi, but the deployed display showed %t instead of elapsed time.
    The second question is, how do I get rid of the up/down icons in the strip display box?  They do not show in the virtual front panel, but always show up in the deployed application.

    Hi Jeff,
    I solved your first problem. The format string you were looking for to wire into the Format Into String function is %02.0f. Honestly, I can never remember what the syntax is for format strings, but I've devised a method anyone can use to make it really easy. First of all, place a numeric constant on the block diagram. Right click the constant and select Format and Precision. From that dialog, make the changes you like. You can actually see the changes propogate to the constant in real-time if you can see the block diagram constant. In your case, the change you wanted to make was Zero Padding - 2 spaces - pad with zeros on the left. After you've configured your number to look like you want, click on the Advanced Editing Mode radio button at the bottom. This is where you can manually enter in Format Strings for numeric constants or controls. The trick is, whatever changes you currently have made in the default editing mode will show up as a format string that you can copy and paste and use as you like. Hope this helps!

  • Error installing NI TPC Service on a 3rd party windows XPe Based Touch Panel

    Hi,
    First of all sorry for my English. 
    I'm having trouble when i try to install NI TPC SERVICE on a 3rd party Touch Panel that runs Windows XPe (Embedded).
    I have tried lot of time. I'm installing the msi application for XPe from the folder "NI_TP_Service" of the Installation Path for LabVIEW 8.6 Touch Panel Module.
    The installer file hungs after installing the service and just when it tries to initialize it and I get a Error Windows that says "Error 1920. Service 'NI TPC Service' (NITPCService) falied to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
    I'm logged as Administrator, and I don't know what to do.
    If anyone know what can i do I'll be pleased in hearing the answer.
    Regards 

    Hi AlexDarsigny,
    You will need either the Touch Panel Module or the Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module (DSC). Either of these modules will allow you to deploy and install NI software to your touch panel. They also include many other features for developing those applications. You will also need a deployment license for any non-NI touch panel that you plan on deploying the applications to. The other software needed on the touch panel itself will include the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine and the NI TPC Service. The following link has some information on this:
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371618H-01/lvxpe/tpc_install_tpc_srvc/
    Once deployed, the program will run as a stand-alone application that can be started from the HMI itself. Of course this depends on the functionality you create within the application, just like you would for any standard LabVIEW application.

  • RRM Neighbor Message/RRM Neighbor Message dBm threshold/Recommended TPC settings

    From reading Cisco’s Radio Resource Management under Unified Wireless Networks (Document ID: 71113) and the following Post (https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10747596/configure-rrm-wlcs-avoid-interferences), I have a few questions which I am trying to get some clarification.
    Questions
    What is the default dBM an AP needs to receive/ “hear” a Neighbor Message at? Towards the beginning of the document, it states “…WLCs will add neighbors to their lists given they are heard at greater than or equal to -80 dBm and will only then remove them once their signals dip below -85 dBm.”  However, towards the middle of the document, it states “the RF Group Leader will apply the TPC algorithm on a per-band, per-AP basis to adjust AP power transmit levels downward such that the third loudest neighbor AP will then be heard at a signal level of -70dBm (default value or what the configured value is) or lower and the TCP hysteresis condition is satisfied.”
    When a Neighboring AP is no longer “heard” at -85 dBm or better, is the RF coming from the AP considered interference, co-channel interference if the two APs are on the same channel, Foreign Interference, or noise?  I think it is co-interference but I am not sure.
    What are the recommended settings for the power?  Is it best practice to go with the defaults (Max 30 dBm/Min -10 dBm)? Reading the following post from Araon (https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/10747596/configure-rrm-wlcs-avoid-interferences) he recommended -74dBm based upon the output from the show ap auto-rf 802.11b <Cisco AP Name>.   I am open to suggestions. (Please note:  I do see this AP does not “hear” three other APs at -85 dBm or better. I understand this does affect RRM.)
    Thank you,
    T.J.

    Hello Philip,
    Thanks for your valuable inputs. 
    Tweaking in max & min Tx power would certainly help us keep tab on upper on lower transmit powers that we want our APs to be working in. 
    I was looking for a solution wherein rrm is influenced such that the power is lowered approximately one step down so as to contain co-channel interference. Tweaking in 'transmit power threshold' really came in handy for me. Got the expected response from a test setup( https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/message/461855#461855 ). Will be putting it into production and sharing here the results. 
    Now the only concern was no having all the APs with 'transmit power threshold' changed from default. Want to keep it an hybrid environment, few with -75dBm and others with default -70dbm. 
    Would AP grouping/ rf profiling come in handy for me?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Adnan

  • Do not use tpc 2106T for custom animation Purpose

    I was trying to use TPC2106T for developing a MMI for an application.To my surprise the Labview in built functions for creating custom animations (eg ring control)  does not work for TPC2106T .I had been told this is to do with Windows CE OS (which is installed in TPC)
    So please be careful if you want to use TPC2106T for custom made animation as you might suffer like me.I am using labview 8
    Request information if some body tried the same exercise.

  • How can we communicate the TPC 2012maodule with cRIO module without using the Local software system

    Hi everybody
    Iam using TPC-2012 module with cRIO 9074 device.I made exe file and deployed into the harddisk of TPC. We are getting input/output values  on TPC only when the Software loaded system is on,if we switch off the system,we wont get the input/output on the TPC.all are connected through LAN connection.

    The best programming practice would be to create variables under the RT target (which means you are hosting the library on the RT target and not on the PC). You, then, just need to drag and drop the variables that you created into the TPC VIs block diagram.
    If you are interested in TCP/IP, look up the examples in the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples) or search on NIs website.
    Also, be sure to go through the following article:

  • TPC 2012 - Problems with shared variable

    Hi,
    I tried to program simmilar thing to this one http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5548 on TPC 2012. But it doesn't work.I can see that both programs on my laptop and TPC are working(I've added an additional counter with display), but I cannot see any effect on TPC when I change the value of shared variable on my laptop. I use LabView 8.6 with Touch Panel Module. My question is what are the exact steps to run such application on TPC2012? Are they the same as for TPC 2006?
    I've noticed following issues:
    1.I cannot deploy the program from Project Manager(there is an information that maybe TPC Service is not started. - I've found such information about TPC Service http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/DE177828D27A14A48625734E00768B66 but in fact I cannot find Start » All Programs»National Instruments » NI TPC Service » NI TPC Service Manager 1.0 Does it mean, that the TPC Service is not installed and the programm with shared varibles won't be working or can I start it somehow in another way? Do I need to have TPC service installed on TPC2012?
    Until now, I've built the project and sent it through FTP to TPC(the folder was /TEMP) and then started it.
    2.Ping works OK
    Thank you in advance for any hints how to solve this problem.

  • Is it possible to use a CompactDAQ and NI-DAQmx in the TPC-2212 with Windows 7 Embedded System?

    Hi,
    I would like to develop a application with the TPC-2212 (Touch panel computer)  and a CompactDaq System (NI9237 - 4-Channel, ±25 mV/V, 24-Bit Simultaneous Bridge Module).
    Is it possible or I should use a panel pc?
    Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This thread is a bit old, but I thought it would be worth while responding (as I was wondering the same thing a day ago).
    The answer to the OP's concern(s) is YES, you can install DAQmx on your Windows 7 embedded TPC-2212 touch panel device while connecting to your cDAQ hardware.  YES, it will function (depending on your memory constraints).  DAQmx BASE is NOT a requirement (which, to me, seems very ambiguous if you're referring to NI's documentation for the LabVIEW Touch Panel Module).
    My confusion began when it seemed using the Touch Panel Module for the 2212 was a requirement, not an option.  If one proceeds with this assumption, then referring to the TPM documentation:
    http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/371940d.pdf
    NOTE: this link above is to an older version, but the content itself (also installed locally with the TPM in \\manuals\TPC_Getting_Started.pdf) remains relatively unchanged.
    Section "Installing Additional Tools" clearly states "You must install additional tools on the target depending on the functionality you need."  Immediately following is the installation procedures for DAQmx Base.  You'll see the same statement in the LabVIEW help files that get installed with the TPM on your development machine.  Nowhere does it state, for Windows Embedded, that it's possible to use DAQmx itself.
    Because DAQmx is a bit of a heavy weight, you'll probably want to go with the Runtime (with MAX) as I did:
    Search for 'NI DAQmx Run-Time Engine - Configuration with MAX'.  I would have posted a link, but NI's site was down for maintenance at the time of this post.
    Connect to your 2212 over a network connection (I just used a cross over cable and connected directly).  Create a shared directory and copy the downloaded installer on over - install.  You could, of course, download direct if your 2212 is already networked with web access.
    I have my test station application running beautifully with an attached (USB) cDAQ chassis loaded with a variety of modules.
    I hope this post is as useful for somebody else as it would have been for me.

  • Support for Shared Variables in Third Party XP embedded based TPC's?

    I have deployed an application in an XP embedded based Touch Panel (Third party). The application is working fine, but the shared variables hosted on an RT (sbRIO Board) are not getting updated in the application on TPC
    1. The TPC is part of the project as Windows XP Embedded Touch Panel
    2. NI TPC Service has been installed on the TPC and the application can be deployed remotely from the development PC through ethernet. (Hence network connections and communications are OK)
    3. By using Distributed Systems Manager in the development computer, I can see that the shared variables are getting updated on the network
    I believe that the problem can be solved if the following programs are installed on the TPC
    A. Support for shared variables for XPembedded
    B. Shared Variable engine
    I have tried installing support for shared variables from Program Files > National Instruments > Labview 8.6 > PDA > Utilities > Variables > x86 - but am getting an installation error "Unable to find application manager for Pocket PC applications".
    Shared variable engine has been installed from ve220 folder. The program is getting installed. But the Variable Engine is not started Control Panel > Administrative tools > Services in Xpe, the service is stopped and cannot be started. When I try to start the service, I am getting the following error on TPC
    "Could not start the National Instruments Variable Engine Service on the local computer.
    Error 1053. The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
    Please suggest solutions for the above or alternate locations for the following:
    1. Support for shared variables for XP embedded TPC's
    2. Shared Variable engine installer program.
    Thanks

    Solved!

    Problem solved!
    Update for interested folks working on XP Embedded TPC's
    Just to make sure that Shared Variables were indeed accessible to the TPC, I wanted to install Distributed Systems Manager 8.6 on the TPC. However since the TPC was having only 1 GB of DOM (Disk on Memory) and with all the software I had tried, there were only a few Megabytes left on the system. I had to add another DOM of 2 GB.
    All the products of the Installation went fine, with the exception of NI Logos (Version 5.0). NI Logos installation failed repeatedly.  I tried installing NI Logos separately, with the same results. Then I had this gut feeling that NI Logos had something to do with the issue.
    I then downloaded the new version of NI DSM 2009 SP1. Although this was supposed to get installed on any fresh system without Labview, the installation would not proceed beyond the setup stage. I tried installing NI Logos from the products folder on the new download separately and it worked like magic!
    Once the new Logos (Ver 5.5) got installed, the Shared Variable Engine started automatically and the Shared Variables were finally unleashed - free to rise and shine! Thank God Almighty!!
    On the lighter side, come to think of it - for running an application of around 400KB, we need XP embedded, NI Run Time, Logos, DSM ..........  (all around 900MB). Can we make it any simpler?!!  Inviting your comments .......
    Thanks

  • Windows xp embedded TPC

    Hello,
                     i have ARM9 - Windows XP embedded Third party Touch panel screen.... i have labview touch panel 8.6..
    could you tell me, is there any procedure to install the application on the TPC ....?
    Regards,
    Balaji DP

    Hi Balaji,
    I am assuming that you created a separate thread since you have a Windowx XPe TPC now.
    You will need two things: LabVIEW Runtime Engine and the NI TPC Service. You must install the LabVIEW
    Run-Time Engine on the Touch Panel target before you can install the NI
    TPC Service (The device must include an .msi engine in order
    to install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine since the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine is
    required to run Touch Panel applications on XPe). After you install the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on the Touch Panel target, install the NI TPC Service from NI_TP_Service\NITPCService.msi, which is located in the same directory as the setup.exe you used to install the Touch Panel Module. Post back if you have any other questions.

  • Can NI provide a TPC-2012 with Windows XP Embedded OS?

    We recently purchased a number cFP-2120's, to use as controllers, along with TPC-2012's for HMI.  My experience thus far with the TPC-2012 has been less than ideal.  Although the TPC-2012 is fine in terms of hardware, I find that the Touch Panel module has many limitations that prevent creation of elegant user interfaces.  This is not to criticize the Touch Panel module:  it has all the features necessary to create HMI for small display areas (<6").  However, the TPC-2012 has a whopping 12" of usable area, in which some very elegant user interfaces could be created.  Unfortunately, the fact that the TPC-2012 uses Windows CE (Touch Panel module) prevents this.
    I have reviewed the forums and have found that NI does not officially support installation of LabVIEW on XPe; however, there seem to be many cases where XPe and LabVIEW have worked well together.  The key to success appears to be in ensuring that XPe is built with the necessary components.  Since XPe can, in theory, run any application that is developed for XP (provided that the right components are installed), I would suggest that XPe, with the LabVIEW run-time installed, would be ideal on the TPC-2012.  The benefits are as follows:
    1)  All of the LabVIEW controls and properties would be available for the developer to create elegant interfaces for any cFP or cRIO application.
    2)  Since NI provides the hardware, they can configure XPe components as necessary for smallest necessary footprint while retaining LabVIEW runtime support.   (i.e. The base platform is consistent and therefore supportable)
    3)  Product specifications for the TPC-2012 indicate that it already supports Windows XPe. 
    4)  The user would be able to deploy to the TPC-2012 by simply building a standard EXE application.
    5)  Aside from screen template size, displays could be built such that there would be no visible differences to operators whether accessing via a local TPC-2012 or a remote-networked computer.
    6)  The next available NI product up from the TPC-2012 is PPC-2015, which is almost twice the cost.  Given that this is an HMI only, it seems overkill to invest $4000 in a full-fledged computer with 1GHz processing power.  The TPC-2012 would be a very competitively priced option for HMI, with all the input, display, and network capabilities that LabVIEW has to offer.
    I would be very interested in finding out more about the potential of this option from NI.

    Dear Mr. Joe Daily,
    My labview application is on windows vista web server and I want to access my web client through web browser on third party windows CE 5.0 touch screen, so please suggest me whether I need to install labview runtime engine(2009) on my web client  or just I have to browser IP address of my web server to run and control my labview application on third party windows CE 5.0, I try with bowsering my web Server IP address its work on windows vista (labview is installed), but not on my third party windows CE 5.0 touch screen.

  • Shared Variable Timestamp fixed on TPC-2012

    My code running on a TPC-2012 reads from a shared variable that is hosted on a CRio.  Reading the timestamp of the shared variable gives me the same 5AM time in 1903.
    If I read that same shared variable using software running on a PC vs the TPC, I get a timestamp that corresponds to the correct time on the CRio. Therefore, the CRio is publishing and updating the variable as required.
    What is up with the TPC?  I am guessing that reading the timestamp is not supported on the TPC?  Yes/No?
